We will continue to see periods of rain overnight tonight through Wednesday, with a slight chance for a rain/snow mix late Wednesday into early Thursday.
The weekend promises more dry conditions, with temperatures in the 50s for highs. But early next week could see a return of Arctic temperatures with lows in the 20's or upper teens.
Finally, the Sunflower River at Sunflower continues to rise, with a new forecast crest of 26.5" at 6:00am Thursday morning. Remember, this is only a forecast stage and time, and is likely to change somewhat. You'll find more information and a graph near the bottom of this entry. For comparison, the record stage for the Sunflower was 28.37 in 1973, and the most recent high was 27.6 in December of 2001.
